What Makes Winter Tires Different?
There are several aspects of winter tire tread and construction that make them vastly different from all-season or summer tires. They’re specifically created to deal with colder temperatures along with snowy and icy roads so that you can handle whatever comes next. Winter tires use a special rubber compound that is able to retain flexibility in colder temperatures than other types of tires. This allows them to achieve excellent dry road grip even on cold roads, where all-season or summer tires would struggle to give you a similar level of confidence. This flexibility also works in conjunction with the tread blocks, which give the tire an ability to pick up snow in the treads, which adds grip when driving on snowy roads. Small sipes are also cut into the tread blocks to add flexibility and contact points for gripping icy surfaces, critical for dealing with those winter storms that pop up and make highway driving treacherous. Winter tires have both deeper treads and thousands more contact points than all-season tires, giving you the extra grip you need to manage all types of slippery surface driving in winter.
